In cash terms the typical BD22 9 home went from £48,000 in 1995 to £235,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 125%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2007. The market now sits about 12% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the BD22 9 median
Each bar is the change on the year before, in cash. The zero line is the boundary between rising and falling.
The strongest year on record here is 2004 (+24.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2010 (−13.2%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +11.9% | +9.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +6.7% | +1.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.9% | +1.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.7% | −0.1% |
The table annualises median growth over each period, with the real column deflated by ONS CPIH. Smoothing hides the cycle (see the chart above for it), and none of this forecasts: it is the record.
Transaction volumes
How many homes change hands
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
The register shows 23 BD22 9 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 106 sales a year before the financial crisis and 56 a year over the last five. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
Reading the BD22 9 market
This is a thin market: 23 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict. The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching. Within BD22, this sector trades 21% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.
Rents around BD22 9
The local authority for BD22 9 is Bradford, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £746 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £551 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,112, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Bradford
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £235,000 median sold price, £746 a month is £8,952 a year, a gross yield of 3.8%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.

On the market in BD22 today
Turning to what is actually available: 63 homes on the market right now, from 5 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole BD22 district, not just BD22 9: live asking prices are collected per district.
Of everything listed here, 15% asks less than the sold record of comparable homes. Each listing is compared with recent recorded sales of similar homes nearby.
- Fife Street, Haworth, Keighley, West Yorkshire
- Cross Roads, Keighley, West Yorkshire, Keighley

The "under comparable sales" label measures each asking price against real nearby sales of similar homes: an opening position for a conversation rather than a valuation. The home itself still needs looking at.

What another bedroom costs in BD
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the BD area. The jump between sizes is local: in some areas a third bedroom adds a quarter to the price, in others nearly four fifths, so a national rule of thumb will mislead you here.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £240,000 | £347,500 (+45%) | £494,995 (+42%) | £673,750 (+36%) |
| Semi-detached | £155,000 | £179,950 (+16%) | £230,000 (+28%) | £302,250 (+31%) | £432,500 (+43%) |

| Flat | £97,500 | £130,000 (+33%) | £189,975 (+46%) | — | — |
Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
